We were founded in Viareggio, Italy, in 1894 by Blessed Clelia Merloni. Clelia, after a miraculous healing, founded the community devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the desire of making His Love more known, loved and served. St. Paul's words, "The Love of Christ Impels Us!" is the community's motto. The Apostles, consecrated women of the Church, seek to reflect the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in lives of prayer, compassion and service. The sisters serve in education, healthcare, pastoral ministry, social services, human development, and missionary activity. An international Congregation, they serve in Italy, Albania, Switzerland, Chile, Benin, Mozambique, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Haiti, Ireland, and the United States.
